This document contains a teaching practice assessment instrument used to evaluate student teachers during their practicum. It assesses performance across four dimensions: 1) Planning, preparation and readiness, 2) Instructional competence, 3) Student engagement and behaviour management, and 4) Reflectivity and evaluation. Each dimension contains several assessment criteria rated on a scale from 0 to 5. The total score across all dimensions results in an overall grade and assessment of the student teacher's performance.
